Pretend To Be a Time Traveler Day (2007)-- The basic premise of the day is to pretend to be a time traveler, either from the past or from the future, who has somehow ended up in the present day. For maximum effect, this roleplay should involve a group of friends and should take place in public places and should involve conversations with complete strangers. Be sure to do everything a time traveler from the past or future might do: ask strangers what year it is and respond in horror, regard everything you see with curious fascination and a touch of skittishness for good measure. The possibilities are almost endless, so take this day to allow yourself to be astonished anew by all of the things you presently take for granted every day.

John Lennon Shot (1980)
- On this date, deranged gunman Mark David Chapman shot and killed rock star John Lennon in 1980, outside his apartment building as he returned from a recording session. The death of the former Beatle, who was an international peace activist, shocked the world.
National Brownie Day
- Celebrates chocolatey, chewy brownies. It's fun and easy to enjoy this special day. First, select your favorite brownie recipe, and bake a batch of brownies. You can add nuts if you prefer. Topping the brownies with chocolate frosting is a good idea, too. Finally, eat them! You can have them for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a snack.
Take it in the Ear Day
- I have no idea what this day means, who invented it, or what we are supposed to do to celebrate. Perhaps, someone created it because they were having a rough day. Or, maybe, just maybe, the word ear was misspelled. (We won't go there)
Bad Hair Day
- A day on which one's hair seems unmanageable. Also extended to mean a day when everything seems to go wrong. Originated in the 1992 movie Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Winter Flowers Day
- Winter is here to stay... and Winter Flowers Day is yet another reason to herald in the spirit of winter and share it's magic with your loved ones. So, soak up the fragrance of the season and make sure every moment will be timeless and full of joy!
Sammy Davis Jr's Birthday (1925)
- Born on December 8, 1925, in New York, NY, Sammy Davis, Jr, was the son of vaudevillians. He first appeared on the stage at the age of four. He made his first film appearance in Rufus Jones for President in 1931.
Feast of the Immaculate Conception (1854)
- In the Constitution Ineffabilis Deus of December 8, 1854, Pius IX pronounced and defined the Blessed Virgin Mary
in the first instance of her conception, by a singular privilege and grace granted by God, in view of the merits of Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the human race, was preserved exempt from all stain of original sin.
First Step Toward a Nuclear-Free World (1987)
- The former Soviet Union and the US signed a treaty at Washington on December 8, 1987, eliminating medium-range and shorter-range missiles. This was the first treaty completely eliminating two entire classes of nuclear arms. These missiles, with a range of 500 to 5,500 kilometers, were to be scrapped under strict supervision within three years of the signing.
Jim Morrison (1943)
- Born at Melbourne, FL on December 8, 1943. Songwriter, poet, lead singer of The Doors, Jim Morrison is considered to be one of the fathers of contemporary rock. The bacchic Morrison, known as
